Mike Good's Cardiac Kids

May 15, 2009

Wow! They have done it all year, but it doesn't help the heart rate of their coaching staff. Mike Good's cardiac kids captured the Alabama 3A State Crown today, but it wasn't easy. It began last night while trailing the Trinity Wildcats 2-6 in the top of the seventh inning. The Madison Academy Mustangs won in their cardiac fashion 7-6 to leave a stunned Trinity crowd wondering what had just happened.

Game 2 started as though the Mustangs would walk away with it and even had a chance to run rule the Trinity High School team with a run in the fourth inning, but came up a little short at 8-1. The Wildcats would not go without a fight and with the aid of a few walks in the top of the sixth inning came roaring back to tie the score at 8-8. Ben Seabrook (MVP) relieved starting pitcher Drew Mobley, who had been dominant until the sixth when he got into trouble with walks, in the sixth inning and shut the Wildcats down in the top of the seventh. The stage was set for another come dramatic finish. With one out and runners at second and third the a SAC fly into right field was all it took to seal the deal and a season the Mustangs won't soon forget.
